Older Swinger articulated loader, part identification

[Solidoak]

The oil filter is a Wix 51335 I think. A Case 1830 gas skidsteer uses the same one. The starter is a D9E78 or a D8E121 for renault. The 78 is shorter and a little higher torque. Both are hard to find. I got lucky and bought 50 new ones from a surplus place a few years ago.

Sent PM.

I was looking at the specs for the ball sockets and they appear to be sold in two different parts (ie ball seperate from the socket), do these come apart and how would one go about doing this?

Appreciate the help so far from all of you guys here.

Solidoak, dynamic industries 110: I have an older Swinger 100 also. Love the machine, currently rebuilding the Renault Continental engine. Looking for an operation manual for the machine, I have a parts manual. Could either of you describe what is the purpose of the "Neutral Start lever" There is an ignition interlock switch on it, but what is it's mechanical function.

Not sure what you are talking about when you say "neutral start lever". Can you take a pic? Send me pm if you need operating manual for Renault engine... I don't have anything for the swinger except the parts manual and if any one needs it I will give it to you at a reasonable deal. You can pm me.

I've attached a pic of the control lever and the page from the parts manual. I'm not sure what are the mechanical functions of the control. Electrically, it interlocks with the ignition, but why? Is there supposed to be a seat switch also? The electrical functions have long since been bypassed, I'm rebuilding the Renault engine and trying to restore machine to normal operations

I don't know what that is. It appears as if it serves the same function as the fwd and rv brake pedal and put the pump into neutral... It might have a safety feature that doesn't allow the ignition to turn unless the lever is in the neutral position.

I would call A/O forklift (hummerbee) located in Michigan and ask for mike (the swinger model specialist).

The lever serves two functions. It pushes a microswitch to allow the circuit to the starter sylenoid to connect and it holds the foot pedal in the neutral position. I the lever has adjustments on it to get everything to engage correctly. The wiring diagram in the parts book shows the switch and wiring. The wires are probably just fastened together with a little bolt and taped up. Their was no seat switch.

Solidoak. The most common term is ball sockets. The old one needs to be torched out and a new one welded in. I have ordered new ones from Baum Hydraulics Corp. Part no. 179136. They are very similar to the originals and fit well. If you know someone with a torch and welder it is about a hour job.

What kind of shape is the lower pivot joint on your machine. I have replaced way more of them compared to arm joints.

Hello Dynamic Industries:
Interesting that your "handle" is the name of the original manufacturer of the Swinger. If you see this reply, could you send me a private message about how I can contact you? Appreciate it! thanks!
